More than half of astronauts suffer fro, space sickness, also known as Spao, Adaptation Syndrome. Symptoms include headaches, nausea, vomiting and po, concentration. The main cause of spao, sickness is disorientation caused by exposure to zero gravity conditions. The human body is used to a much stronger gravitational field on Earth, and organs in the inner ear, along with canals that Sense motion, tell the brain about the location of the limbs relative to the ground. In other words, they're responsible for balance. Unfortunately, the signals from these, organs in the inner ear go wrong in zero gravity, leading to space sickness. Over time though, the brain learns to ignore them and relies instead on visual clues, such as the position of the feet, to determine balance. Astronauts quickly re- adapt to Earth's gravity within a few days and there are probably no long-term effects from this strange affliction.

Genetics is the study of the mechanisms of the hereditary process. Modern genetics began with the experiments of Gregor Mendel in 1865. He studied the inheritance of different factors in peas, and found that some traits were "dominant" and some "recessive", the "dominant" appearing in a ratio of very nearly three to one. Mendel's results were ignored for many years until their rediscovery at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Britain has a target to deliver 10 per cent of its electrical power from renewable resources by 2010. And despite what one might hear from some quarters, superb natural and technical resources already exist that could make this possible. All that is lacking is the political will; but at present, the government seems reluctant to take any positive action. At present, "new" renewables, such as landfill gas, wind, solar, wave power and small-scale hydropower contribute around one per cent to the UK's electrical generating capacity. Generating power from landfill gas is already fully economic, but has limited scope for growth as the country moves away from land filling waste. Energy recovery from waste is highly controversial and also limited in capacity. So, if Britain is to meet her interim target of five per cent by 2003 and 10 per cent by 2010, she must look to other renewables for growth.

To astronomers, the great accomplishment of the flights to the moon was the bringing back al rocks from the lunar surface. It was the first extraterrestrial material ever to reach Earth, with the exception of meteorites. The lunar rocks seemed to show that the moon was virtually free of water and of organic material and was, therefore, a world utterly without life. In fact, this had been suspected by astronomers, Since the 1600s; but there had been some hope of traces of air and water that might have made possible very primitive life at the bacterial level, if nothing more.

William Willcocks was born 150 years ago in a tent beside a canal in northern India, where is father worked for the colonial government. He learnt his engineering in India before heading for Egypt in 1883. There he rose to become director-general of reservoirs, and a legend on the banks of the Nile. He built the first Aswan Dam, then the largest in the world, went on to revive the ancient irrigation systems of Mesopotamia, and watered deserts from south Africa to India. But he was deeply troubled by the discovery that much of what this fellow water engineers did in their colonial playgrounds was worse than useless.

All our sources of power are natural; we have found that matter can be turned into energy and energy into matter, but that nothing can be created. We can convert one into the other with relative ease, but all our power is based upon the control of natural sources, in the Sense that the energy or fuel is never man-made. It already exists as in the wind and in rivers; or it may be stored up as in oil or coal.

The acronym 'radar', for radio detection and ranging, has been credited to the US Navy, which used it officially towards the end of 1940, but the concept of radar is somewhat older. Hertz showed that metals would reflect eloctromagnetic waves and Tesla is said to have suggested using this phenomenon in a radar-like manner in 1899. a few years later a German, Christian Hulsmeyer, received patents for a ship's anticollision device. Also many radio engineers and experimenters observed that passing aircraft or ships interfered with their experiments. Although these features are all suggestive of radar, none was actually radar unless the term is very loosely defined. In the 1930s, however, several of the major powers became aware of the military possibilities of radar and work on it started immediately in the USA, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the Soviet Union. By the end of World War II, military radayt and: military radio navigation aids too, were well developed.

The report, Dams and Development, which has been recently published, provides stark evidence that the world's 45,000 large Dams which block over half of the world's rivers, have been failed experiments. They have failed to produce as much electricity and water, or control as much flood damage, as their backers claim. They regularly surfer huge cost-overruns and time delays. They have made up to 80 million people homeless, and their benefits have largely gone to the urban well-off not the rural poor they displace. Moreover, their effects on ecosystems have been disastrous.

Aviation is about to go back to its roots. Nearly 100 years after the Wright brothers' first heavier-than-air powered flight, the US Air Force is testing an experimental plane that uses "wing warping", which is the steering and control technique that kept Orville Wright aloft in 1903. but this time round, it will be at supersonic speeds. Unlike Conventional aircraft wings, which use movable surfaces like flaps on the wings and the tail, wing warping bends entire wing. The USAF call it "active aeroelastic wing" technology, and is investing $ 41 million in the project in the hope that it will Lead to lighter, more manoeuvrable supersonic planes.

Like so many American waterways, the Chesapeake Bay, an enormous, semi­-saline body of water that is treasured for its aquatic life, became badly polluted during the 20 th century. But it has regained much of its biological vitality Since the early 1970s, thanks to concerted ecological stewardship. In this effort, the Conowingo Dam has provided valuable assistance. Environmentalists are not often fond of Dams, which have a habit of trapping migratory fish and disrupting sensitive water ecosystems ,_ not to "mention looking ugly. But the Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna river in eastern Maryland is an exception. Since its construction in 1928, Conowingo Dam has not only generated electricity but also trapped vast amounts of sediment behind its imposing walls. This was not a function the builders had planned for, but in recent years its value has become clear. The water flowing past the Conowingo Dam is much cleaner than it would otherwise be. Even America's once-endangered national symbol, the bald eagle, can be seen perching near the Dam, waiting to swoop' down and seize a meal of fish by its talons.

ÜDS E

Weeds are plants out of place, either as the wrong plant in cultivated ground, or as any plant where none should be. They can cause considerable financial loss through the cost of their control and the damage they do to crops. Plants which become really troublesome as weeds are those which persist despite man's efforts to control them. Such persistency is due to several factors of which perhaps the most important are prolific seed production, coupled with the often remarkably long periods of dormancy of the seed, and the ability of ve getative parts of some plants to survive mechanical damage and adverse conditions and to set up new plants. Weeds may be controlled by hand, by cultivation and other mechanical means, by biological means and by chemical weedkillers, Chemical weedkillers are widely used, either to give a total kill and suppress all vegetation or to control weeds selectively in crops.

Typical explosives factory is divided into two parts: the "non-danger" and "danger" areas. The main business of the non­ danger area lies in the manufacture of nitric and sulphuric acids for the nitration processes, including the recovery of these acids from the waste products of nitration. Other raw materials are also prepared in the non-danger area. The actual manufacture of explosives and their mixing and packing are carried out in the danger area, subject to rigorous safety measures. The main danger in manufacture is ignition by spark, friction or impact, the latter two being especially hazardous if the explosive is allowed to become contaminated with gritty material. Naked lights, steel tools or anything which might produce spark or flame are therefore excluded from the danger buildings. Each building has a "clean" floor which may be approached only in specially cleaned shoes, while the workers are provided with factory clothing to ensure that grit is not carried into the buildings.

The culmination of the classic age of the machine tool was the work of Joseph Whitworth. His pre-eminence lay not so much in any far-reaching innovations as in the quality and accuracy of the workmanship he was able to obtain. It was Whitworth who introduced the standard screw thread which was used in British engineering until 1948, and it was he who revolutionised standards of measurement. Indeed, the many measuring machines of the second half of the 19. century, though increasing the facility, did not greatly increase the accuracy Whitworth had attained. At the Great Exhibition of 1851 his planing, slotting, shaping, drilling, punching and shearing machines made him the outstanding machine-tool maker of the age

Just as railway bridges were the great structural symbols of the 1fjh century, highway bridges became the engineering emblems of the 201 century. The invention of the automobile created an irresistible demand for paved roads and vehicular bridges throughout the developed world. The type of bridge needed for cars and trucks, however, is fundamentally different from that needed for locomotives. Most highway bridges carry lighter loads than railway bridges do, and their roadways can be sharply curved or steeply sloping. To meet these needs, many tum-of-the-century bridge designers began working with a new building material: reinforced concrete, which has steel bars embedded in it. And the master of this new material was Swiss structural engineer Robert Maillart, who designed some of the most original and influential bridges of the modem era.

Strictly speaking the term "avalanche" should be restricted to falls of snow and ice in mountainous regions but popular usage has extended its meaning to cover rock falls and landslips in all environments. The period of greatest danger from avalanches proper is during a thaw, when melt-water makes a good lubricant for the snow and ice banked steeply against rock faces. The rising cloud of white dust, the vertical grooves and patches of bare rock formed by the scouring action, and the dull roar of the avalanche are all common features of mountains above the permanent snow line. Rock fragments may also be carried down, for the recurrent freezing and thawing of water lodged in joints and crevices of the rock forms a powerful agent of disintegration. The action is the same as that which leads to burst pipes. Freezing causes expansion of the water in the spaces of a joint and produces a pressure sufficient to break the rock.

Aircraft landing-wheel brakes are fitted to all sizes of aircraft for arresting motion after touch-down, for steering during taxiing by differential control of port and starboard brakes, and to hold the aircraft stationary while the engine is warmed-up or tested. Small aircraft have simple two-shoe internal expanding brakes manually operated and very similar to the standard road-vehicle brake, but the larger machines require power-operated brakes using compressed air or hydraulic pressure from compressors or pumps driven by the engine. Besides being as light and compact as possible, landing­ wheel brakes must remain effective and balanced during very high rates of energy dissipation due to the great weight of the aircraft and the very high landing speeds

The main advantages of electric traction on railways are that it is both pleasant and efficient. It brings the removal of a smoke nuisance from tunnels and from the vicinity of larger cities. Further, owing to high acceleration, it is possible to provide a more frequent and faster service on densely populated suburban lines. The track capacity is improved by electrification on mountainous lines because of increase of speed, both up and down the gradient, generally using electric forms of braking in the latter case. Some of the major electrification schemes of the world, for instance; those in Switzerland and Sweden, have been largely dictated by the desire to operate the railway system without dependence upon imported fuel.

Botanic gardens may be regarded as having a threefold function: to please and educate the public; to carry out investigations regarding the economic value of native and foreign plant products and acclimatisation of plants; and to act as centres of information and scientific investigation in various fields of botany, such as anatomy, morphology and physiology, for which museums, libraries and laboratories are also needed.
